I don't think it's correct though.

The graph suggests that you should be looking at a 65-inch screen from a distance of 120 cm for resolutions above 4k to be worth it. I interpret that as the distance at which the screen-door effect becomes visible, so this seems awfully close actually.

A 65-inch screen has a width of 144 cm, which gives you a 100 degree angle of vision from the left edge to the right edge of the screen. Divide the approximate horizontal resolution of 4000 pixels by 100 and you get an angular pixel density of 40 PPD (Pixels Per Degree).

However for the pixel gaps to become too small to be seen or in other words for the screen-door effect to disappear, you need an angular pixel density of 60 PPD. That means you can sit at a more reasonable distance of 220 cm in front of a 65-inch screen for resolutions above 4k to be worth it.

This is still too close for comfort though, given that the resulting horizontal angle of vision is 66 degrees. The THX cinema standard recommends a horizontal viewing angle of 40 degrees.

So multiply 40 degrees by 60 pixels per degree to get a horizontal resolution of 2400 pixels. That means the perfect resolution for TVs is actually QHD.

Pretty sure americans have more reasons to use a VPN than europeans do.

There are people who don't like Gorgonzola?

Pretty sure the samurai were so much into the idea of beating their neighbors that they immediately jumped onto guns almost immediately after the first few got shipped from Europe.

Beam steering is the reason why Samsung antennas are so powerful yet have low SAR ratings at the same time.

Didn't the Alphabet rebranding happen because boomer investors were confused about which Google stock to invest in?

Housing would literally be ten times cheaper if you didn't keep actively insisting on low density housing in the middle of a god damn metropolis.

Crazy that Koji Kondo got on there before Tezuka, Aonuma and Koizumi, though it most likely helps to have a longer history working for the company than they do.

You literally have four different fonts in one screenshot. At least use a weather app that is less horrendous to look at, like Breezy Weather if you insist on open source.

LCD fanboys have lost the mobile space. Pretty much all the mid-range to flagship phones have an OLED screen by now and we start to see OLED on laptops and desktop monitors as well. Don't you think it's time to move on at this point?
